Experience

College Counselor and SAT tutor extraordinaire! I work with students on the entire college application process but also prepare them for their SATs and ACTs. I am a young counselor, so kids feel comfortable going through these overwhelming times with me. However, I have achieved perfect scores on my practice tests, and can also be the demanding tutor parents are looking for. Helping students ace these tests makes me proud to have them in my life and happy to do this work.

Hobbies

I am a Santa Cruz native who loves ballroom dance, dogs, and West Cliff. Education has been an important part of my life, since I started attending local charter school Pacific Collegiate. I am now a college counselor and help high schoolers get into the right colleges!
